I'm not sure how this fantastic short escaped my attention for over 5 years! Made in 2017, Scavengers is an 8 minute peek in an alien world of bizarre extraterrestrial creatures and mysterious rituals. The short, created by Joseph Bennett and Charles Huettner, was created for Adult Swim’s Toonami branch.
The short follows a couple of colonists on a strange planet as they work their way through a series of specially choreographed customs in order to achieve...something. You need to watch it to find out.
Insanely inventive, this makes me want to add a little more weird to my own sci-fi work.
The short is making the rounds again because HBO greenlit an animated series based on the short called "Scavengers Reign."
